Ye Zhiwei took a deep breath. "But it doesn't seem right if she's involved in this. Although the driver is from the Qin family, neither the driver nor the Qin family has a deep relationship with Dad. The first incident was a traffic accident. Although the second incident might be due to external factors, it doesn't make sense if it's Qin Manshu. Dad has clearly stated before that he has no dealings with the Qin family, and his attitude towards me is to avoid dealings with the Qin family. At most, it's just that Grandpa has some personal grudges with the Qin family, but it's not good to involve Dad."

"Yes." Jiang Jianian did not deny it.

Ye Zhiwei was confused by her various speculations, and it took her a while to say, "The most incongruous thing is that there is no indication that this matter is related to her, but she seems to be very cautious and overly careful in this matter, which makes people feel very strange."

Jiang Jianian paused slightly while driving. "Listen to Uncle Ye, keep your distance for now."

Ye Zhiwei thought so too. She wasn't quite used to Qin Manshu's enthusiasm towards her. Now that Ye Qingcheng and Jiang Jianian had both said so, regardless of whether Qin Manshu had ulterior motives, Ye Zhiwei would naturally keep her distance from Qin Manshu without knowing the full story. In particular, she really didn't have any reason to have any further contact with Qin Manshu.

Around evening, Ye Zhiwei received another message from Qin Manshu. Qin Manshu sent a very polite message: "Little cousin, I've had so much to do all day, I'm really sorry I didn't get to properly entertain you."

These words were spoken very politely. As the saying goes, one cannot hit a smiling face. Although Qin Manshu gave people a strange feeling, she had not done anything to harm Ye Zhiwei so far. Ye Zhiwei would not give Qin Manshu a cold face just because of her own speculation. When Qin Manshu said this, Ye Zhiwei also replied politely: It's okay. Your business is important. It is I who have disturbed your work many times recently.

Qin Manshu replied: How could it be a disturbance? If I were to get together with your cousin, we would all be on the same side.

Ye Zhiwei was already unsure whether Qin Manshu liked her cousin or not, but Qin Manshu's actions didn't seem like a joke. If she didn't like her cousin, what was the point of getting close to her?

Just when everyone thought their conversation was over, a few minutes later Qin Manshu seemed to remember something and said: "My little cousin is engaged, right? I saw a ring on your left middle finger."

Ye Zhiwei did not reply immediately.

About ten minutes later, Qin Manshu asked again: Jiang Jianian?

Ye Zhiwei had always felt that Qin Manshu's attitude towards Jiang Jianian was somewhat subtle. She did not answer Qin Manshu directly. Although she and Jiang Jianian would definitely hold an engagement banquet, and Qin Manshu would know about it then, she did not want Qin Manshu to know now, since she did not yet know whether Qin Manshu was a friend or foe.

So Ye Zhiwei simply replied: Does wearing a ring on the left middle finger mean engagement? This is a ring my cousin gave me, and I just wore it randomly for fun. My cousin has always known that I like these things.

Qin Manshu quickly replied with an emoji, probably finally sensing that Ye Zhiwei didn't really want to chat, and their conversation ended with Qin Manshu's last emoji.

The incident seemed to have come to a temporary end. The surveillance footage had been reviewed, and Ye Zhiwei would no longer contact Qin Manshu. Qin Manshu also seemed to be very busy lately, and the two basically stopped communicating.

However, the fact that things have come to a close with Qin Manshu does not mean that things will calm down with the victim's family.

Aunt Wu came to visit Ye Zhiwei and Ye Yingying.

Ye Zhiwei stopped receiving money from Ye Zhiwei, which already angered Aunt Wu. Then, she quickly received news of the hit-and-run driver's suicide. While the driver's death was initially a cause for celebration, Aunt Wu's attitude changed after the driver's wife came to her door with 300,000 yuan. This meant that as long as the driver was alive, the wife would still try to contact her, and she could indeed get a large sum of money in return. Even her relatives said so.

Aunt Wu thought about the expenses she had incurred these past few days due to her husband's spending, and the large amount of money she had owed for buying special medicines and chemotherapy. She could have easily continued to drag things out and asked for a settlement once. If she had subtly signaled to him, he would have come back a second time. Even if she didn't get any other money, at least she would still have some. But then, the driver actually died! He actually died!

Originally, Aunt Wu's relatives thought that she would receive an extra settlement fee, so they tried to befriend her through various channels. Those relatives who lent her a thousand or two yuan and coaxed her by saying that they would pay her back with interest after receiving the settlement fee have mostly turned against her after learning about this. Although Aunt Wu is fierce to outsiders and family members, she is like a soft candy in front of her relatives. When they aggressively demand money, Aunt Wu retorts a few words but immediately says she will pay back the money because she cares too much about her face. But where would she get the money?

She went to her daughter Anna's room to look for money. Anna was already in a bad mood because of Aunt Wu's matter, but she didn't expect that now that the driver who caused the accident was dead, her mother could still make such a fuss. Anna's temper had reached a breaking point.

As Aunt Wu threw the frozen bank card in front of her, Anna looked at her with disappointment and said, "Mom, are you trying to drive me crazy?"

Although Aunt Wu was searching for money in her daughter's room, she remained defiant and arrogant. Upon hearing Anna's words, she immediately retorted, "You're a useless piece of trash! You've already slept with someone and you still don't have any money!"

Anna took a deep breath. "That was money lent to me by Ye Zhiwei, the eldest daughter of the Ye family. Now she has taken the money back."

Aunt Wu immediately adopted a disbelieving attitude, and Anna, exhausted, began to lash out at her, "I tolerated you not letting me go to university and forcing me to drop out early, after all, Dad's health is indeed not good, and our family can no longer support so many expenses. I also tolerated you wanting me to give money to Dad's treatment, since I had almost no money left for myself, because Dad has really been very good to me, and I initially hoped that Dad could get better, but how did you treat me, and how did you treat my brother! I am your daughter, I am a living, breathing person, a person with feelings, how could you treat me like a tool—"

Aunt Wu was speechless after Anna yelled at her. Anna slammed the door and left, leaving Aunt Wu stunned. But Anna immediately started badmouthing her daughter everywhere. She thought Anna would come back, but unexpectedly, Anna lost all contact information.

Day 1, Day 2, Day 3—

Aunt Wu finally couldn't sit still any longer. She rummaged through drawers and cabinets and learned from her son that Ye Qingcheng had left the Ye family's contact information and address. She immediately went to find Ye Zhiwei.

Ye Zhiwei also saw Aunt Wu and asked the woman in front of her calmly, "Is there anything I can help you with?"
